Hello! I've taken interest in your recent PSX style asset packs. They're modelled well, although I couldn't help but notice the flammable barrel texture is identical to the one used in Half-Life 2 for the Source engine.
I'm unsure if you knew this, or if it was a mistake, but I strongly advise changing the texture to a CC0/public domain texture, or to make one from scratch. The same goes for any other models potentially using ripped textures.
I like to share any PSX style assets I find with friends and developers looking for well-made authentic models and textures, and, understandably, I want to ensure they're legally okay to use. Nobody wants to get an angry letter from Valve Software, for example especially indie devs.
That said, I don't fully know how or where you got the texture, but I strongly recommend changing it. Thank you for reading this comment, it's a bit lengthy, I just want to help. I'll even point you in the direction of some CC0 texture sites if you'd like!
You're welcome, glad I was able to spot it when I could. Perhaps you could update the description of the asset pack to let people know to not use the flammable barrel until you've made a new one?
I've found flammable barrel assets provided by some other artists people can use in the meantime!

Thank you for explaining it can get people into hot water, I’ll have a look sometime and change it.
